Looking your best when its hot and sticky can be a challenge. Depending on the event, the thought of being in a suit or blazer, a shirt or even pants can seem crazy! But what happens every summer...Weddings, Receptions, Graduations, Cocktail Parties and vacations.

The Style Coach knows that its hard to look and feel your best if you're not in the right clothes. Men, meet one of your new summer friends:

linen and linen blends

WHAT: linen is a natural textile fabric that's strong, absorbs sweat and dries faster than cotton.

WHY: Its one of the oldest fabrics known and its comfortable in hot weather.

HOW TO WEAR IT AND PAIR IT: suits, shirts, pants, shorts, tees and casual shirts. Use the texture to break up a monochromatic fit. Linen pants and a pima cotton t-shirt (super smooth) are a great summer evening fit!

OFF THE BENCH AND INTO THE GAME: Linen is crafted into almost any type of men's clothes. Look for 100% linen or a high percentage if it's a blend.

Pro-Tip: Don't mind the wrinkles, they add to the look and appeal, while helping to keep you cool!

remember, don't just read the room, lead the room.
